I have been searching the net for a good golden ale or tripel recipe and seem to only find all grain recipes. Does anyone have an extract recipe of either kind? Or would be able to help convert an all grain recipe? Thanks in advance!:ban:

Any advice? I am sanitizing right now and plan on bottling within the next hour. Any tips/advice would be appreciated! thanks:ban:

When topping off my brew today I put the yeast in first before I topped off the fermenter to 5 gallons. By doing this did I really mess up my brew? Or did I just make it so the fermentation will take longer to start? I just wasn't thinking straight and I put the yeast in first and then topped...

While steeping today I had a really inconsistent steeping temp. Started 155 topped out at 165 for a few minutes and now i have it at 150. Is this going to mess anythiing up?

Oh, yeah forgot to say the type of beer is a belgian dubbel. :rockin:

I just racked by first brew into the glass carboy a couple days ago and was wondering if there is a certain temp I should have it at? Due to space constraints I have to put my secondary in a cooler closet ~60 F than the primary ~75F. Should I try to put the secondary carboy back in the...

Thanks guys! I am going to give this brew the ole' college try. Hopefully it turns out well. I will learn alot I am sure. Planning on doing this recipe next weekend. After i rack the dubbel in the secondary:rockin:

Well I went to the local brew store and talked to one of the people working there about making a american wheat beer. The recipe that they gave me was what I wrote down to start this thread. I wanted a smooth wheat beer that was just not quite a wit. They had this recipe as their beer of the...

Yesterday, I checked my first brew and it's almost at the recommended FG. Is there a rule of thumb about checking with a hydrometer and exposing your beer to oxygen before you secondary or bottle it? thanks:tank:

:) If that's what it takes.......

Yeah the relaxing thing is something I need to work on:D

:rockin: Checked my airlock and there are bubbles which makes me fell a bit better. Hopefully, later this week I can check the gravity and everything is going well.

Yeah, it being my first brew I was not sure whether I should get it out or not. Now I am worried about the fermentation because I did not use a starter for my liquid yeast. Anybody have any advice on this? Should I add a bit more yeast in a couple of days if no fermentation has not taken...

:D It would make me fell alot better if there was some sort of CO2 action in the airlock. But, I have a strange feeling that my first brew will go good. It's a Belgian Dubbel and I hope it comes out good. It my favorite type of beer. :fro:

I have alot of time so this beer will have all the time it needs! Being my first brew I just was not sure if I totally messed it up. I will be sure to check back when it starts bubbling in the air lock:rockin:

Tried my first brew today. While topping off the fermenter with water I dropeed the cap of the spring water jugg in the wort. I fished it out with my hand after I washed them and then added the White Labs yeast and contiuned to air lock the wort and put it in my closet. So, will there be a...
